  1. Thanks! I tried something new with glazing where I use a wet sponge to rub through the dipped glazes and put clear over at the end, trying to figure out way to get variation in my glazing.
  2. Thanks Mark, it might be just psychological and not help with drying, but I do feel it adds something visually. I think I have seen the shark teeth as well, and a shark teeth toothbrush holder. I saw one pottery booth with sponges in all of them, came with a free sponge. I would have to put spoons in those rests or no one would know what they are, lol.
  3. Yeah there is no way I could do without a pedal, you could get a cheap pedal and wire it to the motor maybe, I would try it if I had no pedal, soldering's not hard to learn, you'd have to find one rated for the amp draw of your motor. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/d/Outlet-Switches/Variable-Speed-Pedal-Switch-Motor/B078TH6D84#feature-bullets-btf
  4. The foot control not jumping from zero to 88mph when you barely touch it, good bat pins and the rest I don't care about, although I'm spoiled by the quiet nature of my Bailey, it's really grown on me and now all the wheels at the studio suck, lol.
  5. Additional airflow, saw another potter did it and it seemed like a good idea.
  6. Thanks Gabby, I have notice the more time I spend making multiples the better I get at making them similar in size and shape. Between work and other current obligations I only get around 12 hours right now, hope to increase that to 20 in a few weeks, at least that's the goal.
  7. 15 flat sponge holders, 11 vertical sponge holders, 19 vertical spoon rest experiments, 1 small planter and 1 large mixing bowl. 1st time making sponge holders and my spoon rest idea needs some refinement.
  8. This is what I want! Your studio looks awesome!
  9. We have a tile floor in that room and I decided against casters, instead I cut sections from a scrap piece of that interlocking dense foam flooring and attached to the bottom of the legs, slides easy, takes a little more effort with 300 lbs on the table, but no risk of damaging the grout and/or tile.
  10. It's not new but I did build it a few months back when I set up the studio. My wheel is behind it and the table is open on the back side so I can slide it over the wheel for space saving.
  11. Heisenberg's Uncertainty pots, they are both awesome and terrible at the same time, until the plastic is removed and the wave form collapses
  12. 2nd bisque of 2019, tumble stacked planters, loaded on lunch break, working at home has it's advantages. :)

      Save so much money!  Under 300 dollars for parts (closer to 250), permit and inspection under 100, versus 1250 for the same thing from an electrician.  Can't believe it!  I could even go cheaper if I don't use a GFCI breaker and skip the permit but I want to do it right

      Turned out pretty well, have done 2 bisque's and a glaze fire. Blew up one of my planters with the built-in drip tray, didn't let it dry long enough, the bases are pretty thick.
